The Life of a Whore

Comment from Becky Kern-Taylor
Very interesting. Have you ever thought of becoming a whore? Look the word up in the dictionary, very interesting. I think some women marry for material things, and pay back with sex, therefor are they a whore? Well it is getting kind of rude so I will leave it there.

That's so sad, Mary Magdalene needs to talk to her, it wasn't too late for her, and I'm afraid some may wonder how they can possibly make a living, but that's lack of faith, not being bold, I know I was an alcoholic, nicotine dependant and A compulsive, I nothing to lose and everything to gain. This is so beautifully written. Great rhyming, and smooth ballad style narrative, blessings, Roy

An excellent contest entry for subject posted. Exceptional selection of photo. Black and white coloring allows text to be emphasized maximally. Excellence of form and phrasing allows for full impact of subject without the distraction of sloppy writing.
Topic may be generalized to include many types of whoredom. Anything one sells one's soul to or for, in an attempt to find something to fill the hole in one's heart that is meant to be filled with love. Many people do not feel worthy of love, and enter a self-destructive downward spiral, wondering how long it can or will last. To depend on one's looks for the attaining of "love" is especially cruel. Every woman whose husband has divorced them for no reason, will know what this "whore" is feeling. The emotions, and feelings are the same, regardless of the "sin."
Whoever wrote this, is erudite, polite, and delicate.

I like her self talk and reflection here and I think the words speak to many facets of her job and life, her beliefs, or lack of. It speaks to her dreams and hopes. I do think the last word should be sale, rather than sell. Nicely done.

Thank you very much. And you are right. It should be: sale
I don't know how I missed that so many times.
Comment from catch22
Wow, that's a pretty judgmental stance to take on an entire profession-one where many poor women have little recourse or options for better employment. Beyond the POV, the poem uses pure end rhymes, but at the expense of meaning in some places. The rhyme pair in the last couplet is forced to my ear:
Since I'm going straight to Hell,
Then this precious body is for sell.
You might claim poetic license here, but sell is too much of a stretch IMO for the line to make sense.

This made me smile. Thank you. Sometimes I don't add my usual disclaimer in the notes. Reminding readers, that what I write is pure fiction, nothing is real. But, I didn't here. My bad.
Comment from Carlos' girl
Woah, powerful poem. Should place well in contest. A really truthful poem without artifice. You're stating the life as one being examined straight up front and really doing a good job.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Not sure that these ladies of the night think about marriage much, they think about making money and as long as men will pay, they will exist. I think they do a good job and keep sex maniacs off the streets who might otherwise prey on the innocent. If these ladies can keep off drugs they may even have a good life in the end, a poignant write, love Dolly x

Graphic rendering of a working girl's reflections on life--wry cynicism re God--beyond forgiveness--refreshing twist from the usual redemption themes. Cheers. LIZ
